It's very easy to collect tickets and enter the colloquium. The ticket is valid for 24 hours for the Roman Forum & Mount Palatine, and you need to allow at least 3 hours for the visit! Guaranteed immersion in ancient Rome

I bought the tickets in advance and that's what saved me from queuing. Vatican Museum, Palatine Forum, we arrived early and it was wonderful, after my time, 9:45, the queue got much longer.....

Rome is a beautiful city and to say it's busy is an understatement. It didn't retract how much we enjoyed not only the city but the Colosseum plus every other tourist venue there is. Our first visit to Italy and hopefully not our last. Don't let the crowds put you off although it's like people leaving a football match, leaving hospital after visiting and Christmas shopping at it's worst. We loved it.

There was no queue as we had purchased the ticket in advance. Coliseum was everything you'd expect for the history it depicts

The glory of the Colosseum

The Colosseum is one of Italy’s most popular destinations. Believed to have been constructed as a gift from the ancient emperors to the Roman people, this grand outdoor amphitheater once served as an epicenter for entertainment, hosting various public spectacles and games. A stage for gladiator fights, often including animals, the Colosseum has quite a bloody past. Step back in time, marvel at the impressive architecture, and walk the floor of the greatest arena known to mankind.

Marvel at the Roman Forum & Palatine Hill

Your Colosseum ticket also includes entry to the Palatine Hill and Roman Forum. Head to the Roman Forum and travel back in time as you walk along the same paths as the ancient Romans did. You’ll get a chance to witness popular sites including the Temple of Antoninus Pius, the Temple of Castor and Pollux, the Temple of Saturn, the Arch of Septimius Severus, and much more.

Palatine Hill offers one of the best views of the city. Here, the lush Farnese Gardens offer a peaceful escape from the crowds. Relax amidst manicured terraces, statues, and panoramic views of the Roman Forum and Colosseum. Once considered the most desirable neighborhood in Rome, Palatine Hill lives on an extensive archaeological site and was the chosen spot for Emperors to build their homes.

With plenty of ticket options, you can personalize your tour to include bits that interest you the most.
